Schaumburg Flyers to use new promotional team

As part of a new promotional effort and partnership, the Schaumburg Flyers plan to introduce a Flight Attendants Energy Team at its games this summer.

Tryouts will be held on Feb. 15 for the promotional group, which will be known as the SYN Vodka Flight Attendants Energy Team.

"We're excited to welcome SYN Vodka as a partner," said Flyers general manager Ben Burke. "This new Energy Team is also going to be one of many new changes at Alexian Field this year that will add to our show."

The SYN Vodka Flight Attendants will perform at each of the 48 Flyers home games in 2009, starting with opening day on May 22.

Captained by former Miami Dolphins cheerleader Ashley McLees, the Flight Attendants will also serve as the in-game promotions crew, and be available for appearances throughout the Chicago area.

Tryouts will be held at 11 a.m. Feb. 15 in the Schaumburg Flyers Sports Lounge at Alexian Field. Tryout fees are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.
